I've decided to sort out and finish the Middle Levels for my next update and looking at old OS maps there are a few different names compared to today.

I'll add them as I work my way around.

Are Monks Lode and Great Ravelley Drain navigable as they are shown on the attached map? NavBridges2013.pdf

Thanks I had noticed the lock going into the relief channel but wasn't sure how far it is navigable. I've now updated the River Cam and the Cambridgeshire Lodes.

I'm trying to map all of our UK and Irish waterways that are currently navigable and also those that used to be navigable, and that includes both canal and river navigations. I've had some particularly challenging former navigations to map as there are a good number that closed before OS got started mapping.

River Great Ouse and various tributaries updated, now doing the Cam and various Lodes.

Next update to be uploaded in the next week or so will be the Suffolk River Stour, River Gipping (Ipswich & Stowmarket Navigation) and the Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation.

canalmaponline has just been updated with loads of Llangollen & Montgomery features.

Years ago I was lucky enough to be loaned original drawings for Watford locks by BWB they were works of art, disappointing to have to give them back though.

Just finished adding features to the Llangollen canal and Montgomery canal, also added the River Sow and the Staffordshire river link this will be uploaded shortly.

I can't imagine H & S letting me do the things I did in the 70's & 80's on the Wey & Arun canal, I should go look at some of my pictures as I was the society photographer then.

An example from Bradshaw's Regents canal from Limehouse to Paddington: 8.5 miles, 12 Locks, 80' - 14' 6" draught 4' 6"

I've purchased a copy of Bradshaw's Canals and Navigable Rivers of England and Wales which gives maximum craft dimensions for each waterway listed, hopefully Mr Bradshaw is more accurate than current listings. I'll gradually update canalmaponline with these dimensions. Chris

Thanks I have that book on order, and nls maps have been very helpfull I use that site all the time. I've attached a google earth kmz of what I think was the course if anyone wants to have a look. Chris Pen Clawdd Canal.kmz

Does anyone have any information on the very short lived Pen Clawdd canal in South Wales?
